It Is estimated by Sidney Clarke, Jr.,

With his right hand grasped with
clutch of death on a live electric wire,
Leroy Maxey, assistant cashier at the
Citizens' Rank, was saved from cer-
tain death by W. C. Matthews this
morning. Maxey was driving down
town In his runabout. At the corner
of Eleventh Btreet and Minnesota ave-
nue his horse seemingly stumbled and
fell. Maxey got out of the buggy to
help the horse uip when he discover-
ed a telephone wire ha dfallen down
and the horse was lying on It. Mr.
Maxey caught hold of the wire to take
It away. The moment he touched It
he gave a cry for help nnd fell for-
ward with the wire firmly clutched in
his hand. W. C. Matthews, who was
coming down the street, ran to his aid
and dragged him away from the wire.
Matthews had on a pair of rubber
boots and was not affected by the elec-
tric current. Maxey was unconscious
but soon revived and was taken to his
home. The horse died where it fell.
The telephone wire had fallen over an
electric light wire.—Chickasha

Hon. Dennis T. Flynn should be one
of Oklahoma's delegates to the repub-
lican National convention. He Is en-
titled to It because he Is the most
prominent republican of the largest
city In this new state; because of his
unswerving stalwart- republicanism;
because of his unexampled work for
Oklahoma in securing free homes and
statehood and much ^ther beneficial
legislation; because of the fact that
he Is uf national stature, being of the
stuff and fibre of which nntlonal lead-
ers are made; because he represents
the strong, n?gressive. progressive,
earnest, energetic spirit of the West
nnd Oklahoma; because, with him
heading the delegation. Oklahoma
would be Influential In the delibera-
tions of the eonventlqn; because he Is
the one most popular, public spirited
and Influential republicans of Okla-
homa. The Transfcrlpt hopes to see
Mr. Flynn heading a delegation from
Oklahoma Instructed to vote for Wm.

REPRESENTATIVES OF CITIES
OF FIRST CLASS WANT
RELIEF
MUST HAVE NEW LAW
Under Present Law Some Towns
Have No City Clerks and
Other Officers
An emergency measure affecting
cities of tho first class is now in the
hands of the chairman of the munici-
pal committees of both branches of
the legislature which will give relief
to a rather embarrassing situation now
existing In these cities.
The Arkansas code, under which In-
dian Territory cities conducted their
form of government, provides that the
mayor shall preside over all police
court sessions and rails to provide a
city clerk. Since Oklahoma has be-
come a state a numoer of the larger
cities In the Indian Territory have
been proclaimed cities of the first
class and as a result now find them-
selves in a rather embarrassing posi-
tion.
To prodlve for the mayors of these
cities appointing police Judge and city
clerks and other officers until another
regular election can he held, an emer-
gency measure has oeen prepared by
the legislative committee of the may-
ors and city officials of the state and
will be Introduced in the legislature
this week. Cities in what was form-
erly Didian Territory want the same
kind of government to exist in their
cities that now prevails In Oklahoma
cities.
At present the cities In western part
of the state will not ask for any new
legislation. After the emergency
measure Is passed by the legislature
and the proper relief Is given those
cities a general meeting of the may-
ors, city attorneys nnd city officials
will be held in Guthrie.
Mayor Henry M. Scales is president
of the organization.

New York, Jan. 8.—F. Augustus
Heinze, who was arrested yesterday
charged with the over-certification of
checks while president of tho Mer-
cantile National Rank, today entered
a plea of not guilty when arraigned
before Judge Chatlleld Ir. the United
States court. Through his counsel
Helnze reserved the right to withdraw
the plea of not guilty and demur to
the Indictment any time before Jan-
uary 20. The ball bond of $50,000
which Mr. Helnze furnished after his
nrrest yesterday, was allowed to
stand .
After the plen of not guilty had
been entered, Edward Lauterbach,
counsel for Mr. Heinze, made a motion
that he be permitted to Inspect the
minutes of the grand Jury which re-
turned the Indictments ugainst his
client. The motion was withdrawn,
however, when It was learned that no
minutes had been kept by the investi-
gating body. Neither Mr. Heinze nor
his counsel would maae any statement

Evident Intention to Continue on
Working Terms. Take Op-
posite Sides on Question
Washington, Jan. 8.—In the pres-
ence of the entire house. Representa-
tive Williams of Mississippi and Rep-
resentative DeArmond of Missouri,
whose physical encounter on the floor
of the house Just before the Chrisrmus
adjournment attracted general atten-
tion, today engaged in an exchange jt
amenities which was generally ac-
cepted as a public announcement of
their respective Intentions not to per-
mit their personal differences to in-
terfere with the courteous discharge
of their public duties. Tho Incident
occurred in connection with an effort
by Mr. Dalzell of the committee on
rules to get the house to agree to a
rule giving right of way to tho bill
authorizing the codification and
amendment of the penal laws of the
United States and limiting general de-
bate to four hours.
Several democratic members ex-
pressed the opinion that the rule was
a scheme to side-track other legisla-
tion. Mr. Dalzell, however, refuted
this.
"Minority Leader Williams came to
the rescue and favored the rule, say-
ing that congress ought to get rid of
the report as It embodied the result of
the labor of the commission for fen
years. He said the matter was wholly
non-partisan in every way. To the
surprise of everyone. Mr. Williams
then yielded ten of his twenty minutes
time to Mr. DeArmond of Missouri,
who politely bowed his acknowledge-
ments The two men constitute the
minority of the committee on rules and
are necessarily thrown together in the
committee's work and other members
of the house expressed satisfa-ion
over their evident Intention to pre-
serve the amenities In their official
relations.
Mr. DeArmond attacked the rule
because in his opinion the bill which
is a very long one would be used as a
buffer the entire session against other
and more Important legislation. Mr.
Williams was vigorously supported by
Sherly of Kentucky Watkins of Lou-
isiana. Houston of Tennessee and Ma-
son of Arkansas, all members of the
committee of revision of the laws.
The rule was passed by an over-
whelming majority, despite efforts by
Mr. DeArmond and seven adherents
to secure the yeas and nays and the
house at once proceeded to the con-
sideration and reading of the bill.

Recognizes Son Whom She
Had Not Seen for
10 Years
Special to The Times-Journal.
McAlester, Okla., Jan. 8—There was
a touching scfene yesterday at -he
depot waiting room when a mother
and son, who had been sepira'.ed t r
ten years accidentally met.
Mrs. James Stewart of Dentir. Tex.,
was waiting for a west bound train

ed In and sat down his grip. He wore
a large seal'ring with the Roman lut-
ter S engraved upon it. He purchased
his ticket and walked past the seat
where Mrs. Stewart was pitting. She
saw the ring and grabbed the young
man by the arm.
"What Is your name, sir?" she ask-
ed In a trembling voice.
"My name Is Alexander Stewart,
madam," answered the young man.
"My son! My son!" cried the old
lady as she threw her arms about the
young man's neck.
The young man was dazed. He
quickly asked a number of questions
and burst Into tears and many In the
waiting room did the same.
Alexander Stewart disappeared from
his home ten years ago while living
In Illinois. He was never heard of
and his parents gave him up for dead.
The father died from grief and the
mother moved to Denton where she
resides with a daughter. The young
man this morning told his mother that
he was seized by a strange man and
carried away and had been compelled
to work for him for five years before-
being given his liberty. He has been

Perry, Okla., Jan. 8.—M. F. Glien,
a farmer, returned yesterday from
Kansas .going directly to his farm
near this place. Not feeling well on
his arrival he telephoned from town to
Dr. Keeler requesting him to meet hiifc
at his home and give him medical at-
tention. Glien got to the house before
the doctor, and, feeling worse, took
a drink of brandy from a bottle which
he kept. About this time Dr. Keeler
arrived and Gllen complained that the
brandy tasted bitter and made him feel
badly. An examination of the bottle
showed a large quantity of strychnine
In it, and Glien was quickly pumped
out, but the poison had already taken
sufficient effect to cause severe con-
vulsions. Gllen then wondered where
his wife was. She hadn't shown up
during his trouble, neither has she yet.
It was found that she had sold much
of the furniture, packed her clothes
and left. Glien thought If she would
poison one thing she would another,
and investigation showed that a bottle
of llthla tablets had also been doped
with poison. Not long ago it Is said
Gllen and wife entered into a mutual
contract regarding some land by virtue
if which It would go to her In case C
his death. It is understood the wife
skipped out once before about seven
years ago.
